The Therapeutic Application of Epigenetic Regulation by Natural Herbal Compounds in Kidney Diseases.
Key takeaways
This review discusses natural plant compounds that may change how genes are switched on and off in kidney disease. All of the evidence it covers comes from cells and animals, not from people, and the claims are early and unproven. Treat this as a lab idea to watch, not a reason to take herbal products, some of which can harm the kidneys.
